Papaspiros has fantastic food & great customer service. We are regulars, frequenting this restaurant often. We ordered the large peasant salad, skordalia (cold mashed potato dip with tomato, cucumbers, & olives on the side)with fried zucchini, & sesame bread (which is complimentary) as our appetizers, & 3 of us ordered the special which was lamb shanks, that came with a choice of sides; Greek roasted potatoes, rice, sweet peas, or green beans, & the other 2 of us ordered the vegetarian plate. Portions are large & quality of the food is great. I highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant!

The saganaki was quite good, kind of small though. The Mediterranean salad was excelent, the Pinot Grigio wine, smooth and quite pleasant. My friends cleaned-up their pastichio, broiled pork chops, and spanakopita. I wasn't thrilled by their whitefish, which was too fishy. Mind you that one could think that it tasted so because it's a fresh-water fish. However, I had that fish elsewhere, in Greektown, and its taste was delicious. I gather they have some improvement to do here. If you want music, try Sundays evening.

First of all, The bartender is excellent! I ordered a Zombie which is a 70s drink and that was excellent. The food is always fresh and prepared to perfection. The staff is very friendly and will go out of their way to accommodate you. I have been patronizing this restaurant for 40 years and have never, ever had a bad experience. If you're in the area, and you love it good Italian food, this is the place you need to go. Believe me, you will not regret it.
